singing artist and say this is what you said right what keeps you what keeps you afloat what keeps me in such a wonderful shape isn't it the music itself but i think it's the. passion that i always feel for what i do. really really is a privilege for me to do a career than i love so much and i know that. which you can make people happy you can make them feel good many times their problems so it's a very positive thing what you do so it's not like i understand that they're just people that when the arrived normally to my age would be for looking forward to retirement you know because he's a job that he's if you call and they have been doing it all their life and so on but. i am lucky that i am still seeking and saw.

i just don't know why but i am still able to see really is the passion that makes me do it you do a lot of things not only for the audiences which is natural in your profession but you do a lot just for ordinary people you help people help your colleagues is it true do you feel it that that you live as long as people media is that right well. i don't want to see that they feel that you leave your life where you have to leave you know so i i i hope that i specially when you have work all your life even though. you are working you you want to be able to enjoy it with all your family and so on you know so you want to see your grandchildren growing and you know sort of then they are already growing the older ones they're a little so do you suspect you have a spare patients to see well i hope i can see them when the police finish the university and so on you always always are looking for something you know and of

course to i mean in their career mater. what we are doing right now he did was he's one of the things that i love the most which is my competition to have the young out of these programs which is the continuation of generation that i belong to that i learned from past generations and then i want to be able to to deliver to give it to all the seniors and i have been doing it already for now the competition we had in the. nineteenth year and we have saw so many great singers so i'm very very happy i'm very proud. with the competition we'll be able to do this year you brought up earlier to moscow and you dedicated this competition to juggle international scale who is one of those brilliant russian so proud i was thinking is unique and she has

a. school now what can you say about mrs school is she getting international commission already and i mean the school that she created indeed is getting the recognition and she has a. wonderful group of seniors on rotation like it should be old which when you have young artists you have to you have done some time then you lead then you hold them to work out to be a professional and they have a wonderful possibility because they have this theater which they are able to really perform you know so they can they can do many many performances. across the year which is a play members of the vantage that are normally places that they have right now i do have these possibilities in and in civilian valente i mean i have it because i have in washington i mean los angeles young artists but there is difficult to have the theater constantly we got in violence here there is

a smaller theater which you can have the yacht is so. very lucky that she has that theater and that she can have her artists constantly working that's the way if i live mistaken you saying together with a girl you know on stage only once in tuscany only last three years do you question singing with her because because she had a lot to say after she performed with what can you say well she was she was great at these great. no or only seeing tremendous i crease. full of temperament and a great lady of the theater and i don't want to say that it's a fighting lady and yes she's a very fiery and that day we have fire on the stage she was there we were doing tosca and she was going to kill scrappy and. when she took who wished to

butter the tosca when she was going to kill a scorpion a week when the fire. i mean i was outside of the stage because she spoke of the states and scared of pia it was course the spice kali's she realized when she was in fire and he doesn't want to die. and he was pulling his hair and he was trying to pull the we are great and she was slim fast so greasy. and she didn't realize that she was on fire then finally scully's was able to util kind of in between burning him so bring the weak down and i came down in the side with the fire people and they were there with a bottle of of wine and water then the sculpey at us we we made the fire hold. not only a fire the performances by by her but the really fire on the stage

a great narrator did she ever sing to your children grandchildren well we love the guys and. as we seem to gather they. especially the two little ones they are very impressed by because you know what we did. was say and melissa didn't do little boys we were doing that. now there are three young boys. and they see this one is fifteen sixteen seventeen and they hear the whole time and now they say please let's put these children so they sang they seem more solid meal and then they said let's put one of the on par with a child on the scene and they are saying did so they seem with me you know so. the law by the cynic says that when we seem to be. ok ok you've mentioned being

great a great performer laurence olivier after seeing year in there are these tell that in vienna once remarked that domingo acted as well as he put himself wednesday along selebi how important are acting abilities for opera singer for a time i think today there are almost essential you know we still we have because the television or the steel we have to remember the opera and vocal vocal ability should be number one you know there are some singers and they they are not great actors but they have such an unbelievable voices then you will say my god you know this is really a voice and probably would like it but for me for the kind of. theater then i like to do i like to be believable as

a character and for me it's very important the acting but i don't say that it has to be for everybody well of course the people today they like to believe because they are very spoiled they have seen so many good things in all the you know in order of a new son in television and theater so they are spoiled and they see most a big percentage of or popular singers today they have a great ability to act you know so for me is indispensable and it's always has been fair i think i think the youth has always been important who you are playing what's that thing about the character not only reading them the notes of course of course it is it is all so important always to be really in the middle of the carpet. says black shouldn't domingo just a reminder that you know watching the spotlight on our team you will be back in a matter of minutes after

a break so stay with us kinda. cut. the budget. deficit. the. line in motion would be soon which bryson if you knew about song from phones to transient some. who threw stones on t.v. don't come. last time the close of team was in the cool gum region of our men flock from all over the world caught a few centimeters to their self-confidence. this time largely goes to the amore reach him good for the gold rush still gets people hike took her

nature and tried flights to save its culture look for cranes are protected in the first of its own kind of official nature reserve. goods of the coverage of the bush close up on the marquee. welcome back to spotlight we're not in just a reminder that my guest on the show today is the main goal of the world famous opera singing i want to say tenor but recently i've heard mr domingo that you have going back to the roots you're trying to be a baritone once again and there's even a quote you said. that there are a father's father's gives you a lot more satisfaction than the role of heroes and big love.

you know i think that i mean you know nietzsche and he's more logical than i perform the father you know i have performed the father in different locations. first of. all i was the. source of them. in all sorts i did. come a lot of my years it was a body call of course. one of the greatest fathers. and i think there were the role of his best music for the scenes then he has with his daughters or with his son serious. even. for many or perhaps where the. body tone has to be our father

you know i mean father the father daughter is the best music ever written by the head of the you know when i read about you that in nineteen fifty nine your decision in mexico city in. the opera as a baritone and they told you know you're a tenor and you became i told somebody that you know that the mingle became a tenor because they told him he has to be a tenor and told me you know it doesn't matter i mean most of the baritone. is a baritone is the right is it like close if you have a if you have a good voice you can be both you just you just change yourself nicely most of the ten or so most of my colleagues they were very lucky they were born already with the tenor of this year and they can have all the things they were you know but i guess maybe i was never an operatic violet on. my part.

and the body cronies your body talking business with so i sang many roles and they were there were almost ten or you know so that's the reason i really i am singing parts of i don't consider myself a body too and. then because i feel them i think. they need the singer they need i'm not sure and because because the club wants to hear me more. seeing these roles which i have always loved you know i mean who have the same one to. this very has been so on so much time alone who doesn't want to go to a little and i have done it and i'm ready to do it on the stage and i don't pretend to be about it and what i pretend to sing the rigoletto. let's get back to the rally one of the one of the winners. was. who is now

one of the famous russian are pressing there's one that she was not she was not. really new not she had some to do with you know yes yes she she came to see him because i mean her very heavily in the beginning of her career i meet her with a. really you know give a question with all that big calendar he was having from the main screen and i before i start to sing in the big theater she was singing in washington for me she was singing. she was singing. the notes if you go she was saying you need and. when she was singing. in los angeles she was singing. juliet you see me in the know she has done a lot of things for us before so i i we were also i was singing pacified with the ability and she was one of the room in those days you know.

in italy were doing and so i made her from there but you know anya book don't want to go to a competition she says she never went to a competition and she said she's a great at this but she could be you know. but she told me you know plus you go you know i don't want to go what d.s.i. she was singing i was very happy i'm very lucky because today you cannot catch her and you know you can she she doesn't have a free day and she doesn't come anymore you know so so i was lucky to get on my show she was there to show all us around here you would look. ok now and now and i'm lucky to have a year. another question about the young generation that now here in russia out there earlier is in moscow and you can have a closer look at the young russian talents do you see a lot of talented people is this somebody among those that you see here the russians that you really hold your breath and you think this guy can be better than

me. we have finally very good voices they would voices. for the. altogether i mean sort of then they don't pass the finals would never mind there are great voices and although they have now in the finals the finals and i have to say that we have for ten or so there. in one of the ten or so you see this is with capacity you know she she seems to. be. and he seems to even he seems to a lot the same an important dramatic voice so i'm looking forward to obviously i'm looking forward for ten or so and then we have. another colonel the only piece in the. russian army and minion and he has more leery and then we have an american south korean colonel so those are the four terms we have for

the finals so we are looking forward and yes i hear tell him in the surmount of the russian talent. that he's our ocean world and he's in the finals also which is a tremendous start that she was seeing you know queen of the night and she was singing sort of innate that holds ladies already and we have we have great great talent you will see you once said i quote singles can be many some of the making phenomenal careers but there are real artists of whom you may say this is a star they are very few so what tunes and not receiving are a great opera singer into a real star or what is a real star where is the public done poems other terms and if they are decision that wheel and purse pressure and stars you know is the public which that terminates i'm sure that everybody wants to be you know all star you know everybody would like to be in

a very important place but it's the public the public it's who makes the stars doesn't matter how much you want to try the public. and the terminate that puts you the design there first is the one that stands is the one takes is the one that gives you and it's the one that he's in all our career is probably what makes the stars you were part of the famous three tenors project that was an integrated joining the for go world cup in rome in the one nine hundred ninety s. well. is it good from your point of view when when a classical line becomes becomes very popular very popular even maybe wagner i mean this is a sort of concession a fine arts to pop culture well vall got it no vulgar nor i have never done anything vulgar. popular yes of course i think really it has helped very much.

to really bring a lot of new people because when we were doing these concerts they would always big big venues and into big venues. and you would sing only opera you will sing opera singing opera i would sing for us we're seeing you know pretty well singing songs all day you know we were doing medleys with some of the international songs for the world. on songs which they're spinning as something that all the time. or north italian. they would have they had in the repertoire you know so i think we were making just happy to people and i think that we we opened the way we opened the world of opera for many many new people last year he became president of the europa nostra and the voice of the cultural heritage in europe do you consider opera classical music

sort of a heritage that needs to be protected that's dying just just like with. just like. big monuments the churches all the pressures that they would open has i thin your city custom you protect oprah has to be protected and the peace and lost as a cultural. tradition and i mean you specially russians you do have such a great tradition and i think it's difficult to find a good amount of opera composers and you haven't and russia but you see i mean as a tally and as cities that. is the krieble of opera you know is that what i believe penned russians all together do you have a bigger amount of for put out composers then it seems you know. i think i'm right if you count all of then i'm sure than you are right to eight or ten which is the

people too i've you know they're against work against pop music because pop music is stronger is it killing classical well look i don't see you cannot protect their . music with the problem years he's there and he's going to be leaving whatever he's just. and peaky them to children because the parents of the children they love the pub you see so they show it to the children i it's a pity that there is no education for the children to learn classical music they could learn it if you really ph children the children you make. something with the principal themes of the symphonies you know and they operate and you do it. in a pleasant way in a playful way they're going to learn classical music without even know it so this

is a must a child should read child who should have or should study music you know but no no seriously then when do we know. you know they will made the decision you don't want to be serious decisions but music should be available for the children since it seems since they are really have to create to creep into kindergarten into school you should be able to be able to hear to classical music and in fact to disprove the children they have been. listening to mozart you see you know and schubert and so know the music that he's available and nice for the out the. more relaxed and. more relaxed and you know so i think he's the most education for children should be music should be part of for the great advice for all the

parents that's listening to right now in russia today thank you thank you very much for being with this very well and yes through my guests on the show today was. the great world renowned and that's it for us. thank you. and that's it and now from all of us here we'll be back with more on what's going on in and outside and so then they are part and take you. through all. thank you thank.
